Step One - List the factors of 60.
Step Two - Locate the factors that are seven apart from each other.
Factors of 60:
1 × 60
2 × 30
3 × 20
4 × 15
5 × 12
6 × 10
60 - 1 = 59
30 - 2 = 28
20 - 3 = 17
15 - 4 = 11
12 - 5 = 7
10 - 6 = 4
5 is 7 less than 12, and 60 is their least common multiple.
Answer: 5 and 12
Answer:
No, the absolute value of a number is different from the opposite.
Step-by-step explanation:
For example, the absolute value of 4 is 4.
l4l = 4
But the opposite of 4 is -4.
Absolute value is ALWAYS positive, but the opposite of a positive number is a negative number.
If you assign variables to the problem, it can make things a lot simpler. Lets say chairs are x and tables are y. Therefore you have:
2x+6y=40
5x+3y=25
Now you can isolate the variable of one equation and put it into another (it doesn't matter which. I'm going to manipulate the top equation to plug into the bottom one).
2x=40-6y
x=20-3y
Now I plug into bottom equatioin:
5(20-3y) + 3y=25
100-15y+3y=25
100-12y=25
-12y=-75
y=$6.25
Now you can plug in y in either equation to get x.
2x+6(6.25)=40
37.5+2x=40
2x=2.5
x=1.25
So it costs $6.25 for each table and $1.25 for each chair. If you think about it, it would make sense for the table to cost more for the chair.
C.
Solve for x by simplifying both sides of the equation, then isolating the variable.
x = 77, -77
